The Amazing Randi's One Million Dollar Challenge
The Amazing Randi's One Million Dollar Challenge was an offer by magician and skeptic James Randi, designed to test claims of paranormal or psychic abilities. Participants who believed they possessed such powers could attempt to demonstrate them under controlled conditions. If they could convincingly perform, they would receive one million dollars, funded by Randi. The challenge aimed to promote scientific scrutiny of extraordinary claims and to discourage false or unproven assertions. Despite many attempts over decades, no claimant successfully met the criteria, highlighting the lack of verified evidence for supernatural or paranormal phenomena.
